ERODE TRIES a NEw BRIDGE.
An Insane Nan leaps First and IN
Killed. but Brodie IL Unhurt.

A Cincinnati Ohio special says:
Steve Brodie, the bridge-iumper from
New York, leaped from the Cincinnati
and Covington suspension bridge at
4:30o'clOck this afternoon into the river,
distance of eighty-two feet. In the
morning an insane man leaped from
the bridge at almost the same place and
was drowned. Brodle's proposed feat
was known only to very few to pre-
vent interference by the authorities.
AT 3:45 p. NJ. young man with a
Bowery swagger, clad in yelyeteen
sack coat, striped trousers, and patent
leather boots, left Vinestreet restau-
rant, followed at some distance by a
cOteric of newspaper-men. Brodie
carried canvas-bag. valise containing
his wardrobe. The yOung man walked
on to the bridge and looked over at
the water. Though not in the centre
of the bridge he was over the centre
of the channel, which is about thirty
feet deep and fifteen feet wide. A very
brisk wind was blowing and the water
was cold. A tug was secured by the
friends of Brodie, and it was moved
into the channel near the bridge.
The jumper took off his coat, leaped
over the railing, and, swinging for per-
baps three minutes, facing south or
down the river, let go his hold. He
went like shot out of a cannon, but
the wind blowing up stream carried
him under the bridge. Brodie APP
peared to those on the bridge to strike
the water on his back, but to those in
the tug he seemed to go under at an
angle of sixty degrees. The time of
his descent was about two seconds and
two thirds. He was under water about
two seconds, and when his head APP
peared he swan overhanded slowly to
the tug. A friendthrew q rope to him.
The jumper had received some scratches
in his fall and was exhausted, but was
all right in few hours.
The Law and Order League, which
had wind of this affair, was outwitted.
The feat that Brodie accomplished here
has never been successfully attempted
before. He was complaining of stiff
ness and soreness at late hour to-
night, but his physician says he has
not been seriously injured. He says
he will jump from the st. Louis bridge
next week.
1t is supposed that the unknown
man who jumped from the bridge this
morning was insane. He struck the
water sideways and sank. All efforts
to rescue him were futile. The au-
thorities will probably arrest Brodie,
who is showing at a museum here. Not
over fifty people saw the leap, which,
though not considered Impossible, was
looked upon as foolhardy and danger
GUS. 1t was particularly so to-day,
since the wind was blowing almost
gale.

THE EASTERN SHORE.
BIshop RnndoIph's visit-TheC Crops

bishop RnndOiDh's Fistt-EnesFOps
Correspondence Of tho Richmond Dispatch.l
OSANCoCK, May ., 1887.
Assistant Bishop A. Nj. Randolph ar
rived here from Old Point Friday, and
preached that morning in the Episco-
pal church OF this town, delivering n
splendid sermon. That night he
preached at Accomack Courthouse, and
on the following day at Pungoteague.
Yesterday morning he preachedat Hun
gar's church, in northampton county,
and at Eastville at night. He admins
tered the rite of confirmation at all
these places.
In beginning his sermon here the
Bishop took occasion to compliment the
congregation on the changed state OF
affairs in OnancOck since he was last
here, three years ago. There was then
no Episcopal church in the town, and
he held services in the basement OF the
Town Hall, while now the prettlest
church edificc on the Eastern Shore OF
Virginia, and, according to the Bishops
opinion, one of the prettiest in the
State, is almost completed and ready
for conservation. This is Bishop Ran
dolph's second visit to the Eastern
Shore, where he has won for himself a
warm place in the hearts of the people
of all denominations.
While the Episcopal church in Oman
cock is the youngest and prettiest on
the Eastern Shore, st. Georges church,
at Pungoteague, enjoys the distinction
of being the oldest one in this section,
and among the oldest in Virginia. 1t
was built somewhere in the latter half
of the seventeenth century, and is said
to have enjoyed the special favor aud
patronage of her Majesty Queen Anne,
from whose hands it received some
valuable gifts. 1t was built of bricks
brought all the way from England.
During the late war it WAS used by the
Federal troops as a stable, and conse-
duently fell into decay till it was re-
paired some years after the war closed.
Its original shape was that of cross,
but in repairing the old edifce the
wings were torn down, very much to
the detriment OF its beauty and sym
mctry.
The weather here for some days past
has been cool and windy, and it is now
ascertained that the recent frost played
havoc with the early peach and straw
berTy-blooms. In some localities nearly
all the peaches are killed.
Dufiield Savage, proprietor Of the
hotel at Accomack Courthouse, who
was sentenced last week to pay fine
of 800 for violation of the local-option
law, has also been sentenced by Judge
Garrison to thirty days confinement
in the county Jail. Judge Garrison
overruled motion for q new trial, but
suspended execution of the sentence
for fifteen days to allow the defendant
TO appeal to the Circuit Court. Mr.
Savage is now in Baltimore.
The Republicans are making efforts
to put ticket in the field for county
offices. Thus far they have met with
poor success.
Colonel Parker's Artesian well is now
nearly 200 feet deep, but no water has
vet been reached. The earth through
which the workmen are now boring is
composed of sand and marine shells.

A Distinction.

The Savannah Ne,cs, in commenting
on the assertion of the Chicago Tri-
bule that "the southern boom is col
lapsing," says:
0The southern boom is not col
lansing that is, there is no falling OFF
in the energy and enterprise that the
South has been displaying within the
last year or two, and no decrease OF
confidence in the South's future. Capt.
talists are as satisfied with the progress
the South is making as they ever were,
and are as ready to invest their money
in her mines, forests, and lands. They
understand that her resources are very
great, the development of which has
only begun. Many railroads are being
built, and iron, cotton, and other fac
tories are being erected.
The Nevs then remarks that in
some towns there is not 80 much excite
ment over corner-lots as there was a
few months ago. This is very properly
attributes TO the fact that speculation
has carried prices to a point which IS
unwarranted by anything which appeals
to the judgment of genuine investors,
and which makes even reckless specula-
tors hesitate. But our contemporary
adds:
A distinction must be made between
the southern boom and the booms which
real estate syndicates, interested in this
or that town site, may start. Some Of
the town site booms may flourish for
awhile and then disappear, but the
southern boom is bound to have o
steady, healthy, and permanent growth.
True, and this distinction, our own
people as well as northern capitalists
would do well 10 bear in mind.

a SYrnDnthiZer.

Persons living outside of Virginia
have as q general rule taken little or no
pains 10 learn the true condition OF
things here. Most of them content
themselves with speaking in patron
izing way of and to the State, and adj
vising her to pay her debts, forgetting
that this is more easily said than done
in n Commonwealth which has over
one hundred thousand voters who
would vote for reputation or for pay
ing all the debt, or for paying any por-
ton OF it, depending upon whether
MALONE desired them to vote for one
or another of these propositions.
But the Baltimore Herold has not
allowed itself to speak slightingly or
patronizingly of the debt troubles of
the good people of Virginia. 1t has,
on the contrary, posted itself as to
those troubles, and speaks as follows;
1.-THE British bondholders now press
ing their claims ON the people of Vir-
ginis through Sir Edward Thornton
should be careful lest, in exacting their
pound of flesh, like Shylock of old
they lose their case altogether. There
are many thousands of Nirginisns
already committed to reputation,
while the popular sentiment in favor OF
an honorable settlement of the States
indebtedness is being rapidly replaced
by determination to resist unfair and
extortionate demands, even if repudia-
ton has to be resorted to. Malone Is
watching the game between the British
ers and the State for all he is worth,
and it will not be at all surprising if
the naughty demands of Sir Edward
Thornton and the bondholders should
lead to O reputation boom that will
enable Malone to sweep the State"
Is it not true that the sentiment in
favor of repudiation-for it has become
a sentiment-has spread rapidly and is
still spreading Are there not thou
sands of the debt-payers of 1871 and 1879
now longing for an opportunity to set
the seal of their condemnation upon
the men who have prosecuted the Com
monwealth from the State courts up to
the highest Federal court? Are there
not thousands of them who have already
declared that the appointment of the
commission to meet the committee of
the foreign bondholders leaves them no
further duty to perform in this behalf
If you in Richmond do not see people
from every county and city of the State,
go up to the Capitol, and ask the mem
bers of the Legislature. 1t has been
forcibly said that even the RIDDLEBER-
DER bill is beginning to wear to the
average voter the appearance or garb
OF SHYLoCK claim.
We would not discourage the gentle
men engaged in endeavoring to come
to an understandings our creditors;
for we should regard failure to do so
as a calamity. 1t is because we are
sincerely DESTROYS of settling the debt
that we assist the Baltimore Her0d in
warning our distinguished British visi-
tors that there is a lion in the path to
the ratification of any settlement that
leaves out of view the poverty of the
country people.
As to General MAHoNE's designs, we
have nothing to say just now. We are
not inclined to the belief that he would
be willing to pose as repudiator.

Besides. thisbusiness willenable Rich
mond to reviveits import trade in coffee,
sugar, licorice, and tropical products.
which has somewhat languished of
late, and to do large jobbing bust
ness in those products. II was this Of
which we spoke the other day when we
alluded 10 the former trade relations
existing between Richmond and Lynch
burg, We see no reason why Rich
mond, with her advantage, may not
almost monopolize the coffee and SUI
gar import trade of the country and
bring to her even New York and Phila-
delphia and Baltimore as customers.
IL used TO be so 10 a considerable ex-
tent, and may be 80 again il the mills
there are set 10 work TO their full ca
pacity.
OF course in other branches of trade
Richmond has no advantage over
Lynchbnrg. and our merchants can do
as well for their customers as can those
of the capital city but when she i'm
ports such articles as those named that
is the place for our merchants to pur-
chase them, as n large tax-paying city
will help the whole OF Virginia.
We hope, therefore, that Richmond
will restore her business OF flour
making that she will even increase it
beyond its former proportions; that
she viii measurably get control of the
coffee and sugar importations and build
up a lucrative business in those lines.
1t seems to us it is within her grasp if
she has the enterprise to measure up to
the occasion.
There spoke Old Virginia.

The reports that the Administration
had determined to break friendly rela-
tons with Mr.. Randall are shown by
to-day's appointment of apension agent
at Pittsburgh to be without foundation.
Mr.. Randall's candidate, William H.
Barclay, was selected i'll preference to
other strong competitors, and Mr.. Ran
dall's hold on the situation in Western
Pennsylvania is thereby strengthened.
The only Pennsylvania appointment of
importance that has been made in OPP
position to Mr.. Randali's recommends
ton was that of postmaster for Har-
risburg. - Washington tete9ran'-New
York Sun.
Mr.. RANDALL and Mr.. CLEVELAND
do not agree upon all political ques-
tons, but they are both sensible, prac-
teal men, and are not atall likely to fall
out because of differences of opinion
on disputed points.

The progress of Virginia in crime is
one of the indisputable facts of this
day. Governor Lee, in a recent com
municatiOn to the House of Delegates,
has to admit that before the war the
average number OF convicts confined
in the penitcntiary amounted to little
over two hundred now the average
for the last three years has been one
thousand and thirty.-NOrOH Ptr-
gindtn.
That is an evidence of our "higher
civilization. In ante-bellum times
negroes were too valuable to be sent to
the penitentiary. They were then
punished by stripes for many offences
for which, now that they are as good as
white folks, they have, like white folks,
to serve out-a term in the penitentiary.
Examine the Code of 1S49, or that of
1860, and You will surely be surprised
to find how often the phrase elf free
person" is used in speaking of crimes
against person or property.

Tabled.

Our Charleston correspondent tele-
graphs that the proposition that West
Virginia assume $s,000,0 900 of the debt
of Virginia was discussed in the West
Virginia Senate yesterday and tabled.
1t was a foregone conclusion that it
would be tabled or killed in some other
way. The plain truth is that West Vir-
ginia has no intention of paying a
farthing of her portion of the debt of
old Virginia. Judging from the past,
it is fair to assume that we shall hear no
more of this and similar propositions
until it again becomes desirable to I'M
load West Virginia certificates.
